Pros: Digital cable. Offers more channels than Time Warner did. Cons: Picture will freeze occasionally.
This review was written in August, but was placed under Adelphia powerlink. After realizing it was misplaced, I am moving it to its right place, along with a few updates.
When I moved to Florida in August, one of the things I really...
Pros: Features, no need to install dish, convenience, better picture than analog Cons: Pricing, limited equipment choice, picture and sound quality
The Sadness of Analog
I used to have Adelphia’s analog cable service, which wasn’t cool at all – noisy picture, only about 30 channels at $29 a month. But several months ago I switched to digital cable.
Pros: provides all my favorite shows, automatic deductions Cons: costs, customer service, unseen price increases
Adelphia cable has been my provider ever since I started living on my own. They are the local provider in my area, and I would guess I have used the company for roughly 3 years. I don't think that those three years have been entirely pleasant though, ...
When we moved to Cincinnati I was very excited to hook up the cable, being the TVaholic that I am. Living in Columbus, I had Time Warner Cable, and figured in a big city like Cincinnati, I would be able to have the same, or at least a choice. Wrongo!...
Pros: *Pseudo-Latin meaning: Don't let the bastards grind you down Cons: Adelphia, you bastards, I won't let you grind me down!
NOTE: This letter was actually mailed to both the President & CEO of Adelphia, as well as the Western Regional Vice President, and the local branch office on 2 January 2002.
Pros: Multiple HBO channels, VH1, MTV Cons: Poor Service, Overpriced
Lately I discovered that I’m having no such luck with my usual household services since I moved back into a small apartment. I was having phone problems (that will be a later epinion), a roach infestation, and basically my college was giving me a hard...
Pros: if you got the cash, you'll get tons of channels w/a crisp, clear reception. Cons: sometimes looks "digitalized" for a second or two; customer service stinks.
How Two Broke Girls in LA Decided to Splurge on Cable
One night last November, at around eight p.m., a strange man with a tool belt knocked on my apartment door. He had on an Adelphia embroidered workshirt and a clipboard in hand. When...
Pros: Quantity and quality of channels offered, uninterrupted service and interactive on screen program guide Cons: Customer service; No communications between customer service reps and technicians
I have been a subscriber to Adelphia for over twelve years and to the digital service for a year. I can relate many horror stories over the years, i.e. service outages, poor picture quality, limited channel offerings and poor customer service. At present...
Pros: Digital is GREAT reception, decent channel selection, reasonably priced Cons: Few digital channel choices, few music choices
Cable TV seems to be one of those necessary evils in life. I will date myself with this, but I remember when it first became available and how GREAT it was. Yea, cable TV!!! Well, I still happen to think that it's great. I've had Time Warner for...
Unfortunately, if we want to watch anything other than 2 or 3 network stations using an antennae, we HAVE to have Adelphia's Cable Service. We've lived in this area for about 6 years and having had experiences with other cable companies in the past,...
Pros: It is TV, after all... Cons: Lousy service, Inconsistent Customer Service, Frequent Cable Black-outs
When we call Adelphia is a cable service provider, I think we are mistaken. A cable provider, yes, most of the time. A service provider, yes, if you're talking about poor service. I don't think anyone likes reading negative opinion reviews, so I'll...
Pros: Customer service people seem to be well trained. Showed up on time for installation. Cons: Service is intermittent. Outages persist for days. Customer service hold times mostly over 30 minutes.
It's starting to feel like the Cable TV industry is one of America's largest legal scams. We live in one of the most technically advanced countries in the world, yet somehow we're allowed only ONE cable company to choose from? If this cable company...
Pros: None I can think of right now. Cons: false representation on prices, little choice of channels so little choice for good shows.
I just moved from Houston Texas (where I had no need for cable since I had pretty much all the channels I really needed) to Maine a few months ago and had to take cable since the owner of my apartment complex did not agree to my getting a sattelite...
Pros: Channel Choices, Picture & Sound Quality, Parental lock Cons: Difficult to record shows on a VCR
We moved into a new house last July and were faced with several months of not having cable television simply because we moved into an area that had not been wired. Once Adelphia got their act together, we opted to get suckered into their digital cable...
Pros: None Cons: Overpriced, Bad reception, Curt Reps
We just recently moved and after all was said and done we had ourselves a new cable company. We went from Media One to Adelphia cable and right from the start I knew there would be problems. I wish I was wrong but I wasn't.
I currently attend school in Burlington, VT. Being in Vermont, I don't get much choice when it comes to many things. Since I live in a dorm, a satellite dish would have been a pain and a lot of trouble so I went with Adelphia's new digital cable service....
Pros: Good Channel Selection Cons: Overpriced, Bad Pay Per View
We recently moved from an area served by Time Warner Cable. While I wasn't always pleased with Warner, it offered a good selection of channels on the Basic service for a nice low price, and it was reliable. When we moved, our cable company - the only...
Pros: It's available Cons: Poor pay per view, poor customer service, billing problems, frequent disruptions in service, lousy channel choices
Okay...sometimes there are no good choices. I thought that when they deregulated cable TV around here, we might have the option of choosing a new cable company. Not so. We are still stuck with Adelphia.
Pros: It's cable! Cons: Basically the only cable service in town
I have to be honest in my opinion about Adelphia Cable Co. This company used to be Century Communications here where we live before Adelphia took over and boy has the service not changed. I still get the same lousy service i got before. They have managed...
Pros: Fast Repair (Sometimes) Cons: Price, Unreliable Service
I have subscribed to Adelphia's Cable TV and Power Link (Cable Modem) service in the Buffalo, NY area for approximately two years. The Cable TV service is OK, however the picture quality is not best I have ever seen. I recently switched my TV service...
Pros: Better than nothing Cons: Whole lot of nothing
Recently our local cable company was taken over by Adelphia communications. While they came in with promises of more channels, better service, and fiber optic technology, the improvement to the viewing population has been limited, if not non-existant....
Pros: None Cons: Expensive, Poor Quality, Poor Service
Several months ago Cablevision was bought out by Adelphia in our area. We thought Cablevision was bad well nothing prepared us for Adelphia.
We have lived in various parts of the country and have never paid so much for cable which has been so...
I WORK at the ROCKY MOUNT NC DIVISION. WE NEED HELP HERE! WE ARE LOSING OUR BOSS. HE HAS TRIED THE BEST THAT HE COULD TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT BUT, THE GUYS WANTED TO BE HARD HEADED, SO HE HAD TO DO SOME CHANGEING. WELL, THE GREENVILLE TN OFFICE HAS BEEN...
Pros: Occasional free pre-paid long distance phone cards Cons: Poor customer service, long waits for service calls and high prices
Adelphia Cable is truly not making the grade. As a customer for the past three years I have only observed changes that are far from positive. The unfortunate aspect of it all is I am forced to use their services if I wish to have cable television. I...
I bought this product and noticed that it was very fast. The second i pusthed the button, it started working and it was so easy anyone could figure it out. Even my father, who knows absolutely nothing about electronics could probably figure out how it...
the following is the text of an article submitted to both hometown newspapers, and my county supervisor
Just ran into a situation which may be newsworthy. I have been an eastern
Loudoun resident for several years, and have been a cable...
Pros: 3 out of 30 new channels added that I like Cons: Everything else - service, snowy screen, price, monopoly...
The tv is snowy again. I call my new next door neighbors and ask if their tvs (if they have one) are snowy and not clear also. I get 2 different responses: 1) Do you have cable?? 2) Yes, my tv is snowy as well although you could make out some sort of...
Pros: reasonable channel lineup and pricing Cons: no "Boomerang" on non-digital service yet
When I bought my home I moved into an area served by TimeWarner Cable; At that time I did not have cable installed, in a desire to have fewer distractions while finishing my degree. By the time I finished the degree, TimeWarner and Adelphia had swapped...
Pros: You get basic TV Cons: Bad service, very bad service.
I am feed up with the customer service at Adelphia Cable. I have had cable since the beginning. The only reason that I continue their service is for I can not get any channels without cable. Their customer service is a joke. Their service is a joke to be...
Adelphia took over our other cable company without anyone even noticing that they had done it. This happened only a couple months ago. Then we noticed that the bill looked a little different.
The picture quality is not as good as it probably...
Pros: There arent any "pros". Cons: There are too many "cons" to list.
Comments: I have never been so disappointed and frustrated with a company in all my life as I am with Adelphia. Monday, August 21st, our cable went out along with the internet service. I thought it was just a temporary outage, but the next morning ...
Pros: None that I can think of. Cons: Poor technicians, nonexistant customer service, reception? what reception?
Incompetent installation technicians. Extremely RUDE customer service personnel. Horrible reception. What's wrong with this picture?! EVERYTHING! On February 4th (approx. 9:30AM), I spoke with a customer service rep regarding adding premium ...
Pros: Easy to get hooked up Cons: Cash upfront at installation
Monopoly in this market, no other choices
I recently bought a new home, and the question came up Adelphia or a Dish? We decided the quickest and easiest way would be cable till we decide for sure.
HA!!! Just getting through to a representative who could help me was a minefield. Not having...
Pros: THERE ARE NO PROS. EVERYONE WORKING AT ADELPHIA IS CLEARLY AN AMATEUR, ESPECIALLY THE EXECUTIVES. Cons: Everything about them.
Let's start with the one good thing Adelphia does - broadcast Bill Rosendahl's unique coverage of California politics. We don't know how we'll make intelligent voting choices without this former cable executive's shows, but he's not available on...
Pros: It's high-speed cable. It's fast. Like all high-speed cable. Cons: Customer service is terrible, uncommunicative, rude. Tech support is helpless. Expensive.
Adelphia was the first cable company I worked with after moving out of my parent's home several years back. I initially hooked up standard cable and digital high-speed internet access. The term "high-speed" here is referring to the American concept of ...
Pros: digital cable not analog Cons: Unreliable service, customer service not helpful
The order for Adelphia digital cable was placed at the end of June as a birthday gift for me (my birthday was July 2nd). Even though I knew they were bankrupt, they are the only service in my area and I could not get the dish due to tall trees.
...
Pros: Digital Cable is usually reliable Cons: Higher cost, poor customer service
5/16 update. I have a friend that lives in Delaware and her local paper had this article in the business section. I have a feeling this is a sign of things to come!
Pros: Pretty good service
Reliable internet Cons: Overpriced and dont care! REFUSE to compete with Dish. "Advantage Packs" yeah right!
Adelphia charges entirely too much money for their entertainment. Their commercials blast the Dish and make false claims. They refuse to compete with the Dish and offer packages that have similar channels, and a similar pricing. You can get a plan from ...
We purchased Adelphia Cable, because we had no other choice. Then a long came digital, better picture, newer boxes, more choices, but no more Sci-Fi and no more adult channels. Well, we stayed anyway. Then I'm told as I'm reporting another cable...
Pros: None. Cons: Reception is unacceptable,packages are not commensurate with the monthly charges.
Given that I do not have a choice of cable providers in the Township of Pembroke Massachusetts, Adelphia Communications is my only alternative. For the last 45 days the reception has been ridiculous. My family and I cannot watch one program in its...
Pros: Fair internet speed, when it's working. Cons: High price; frequent internet black-outs; poor treatment of customers; unethical advertising.
Here's the timeline of Adelphia's latest consumer scam: Early November: Adelphia announced it will be increasing its service fees across the board and automatically changing its customers services to fit into it's "new" product packages. These packages ...
Pros: Bills arrive on time. Cons: POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Signal constantly dies. No responsibility taken for lack of service issues.
I was a three year Adelphia customer before switching to direct TV. Had I not been so casual about paying 50 bucks a month, I would have switched earlier. While I never subscribed to any movie channels, I did get the digital cable following the purchase ...
Pros: It's a little bit more than what you get with an antenna Cons: hardly any channels, no internet, horrible quality, awful customer service, pricey
With a whopping 32 channels, you can turn on your TV at any given time and watch, well, a whole lot of nothing! The sparse selection of channels basically guarantees that trying to find any interesting programming is like hunting an animal on the...
Pros: NONE Cons: Bad reception, freezing doubled images, THey deny us regular programming to present advertisments for hours at a time!!
Hi, I wanted to take a minute to tell you that there is a place you can send complaints about the poor services of Adelphia Cable. First, you should write to Adelphia and try to see if anything comes up from it (Keep the dates and copies from the...
After several moves over the past 10 years, this is the first cable company I've been totally unhappy with. Their billing has been inaccurate and erratic. They didn't bill at all for about 5 months, then sent 6 month bills for twice the rate I signed up...
Pros: You get the Sci-Fi channel and TV Land Cons: No Cartoon Network. Overpriced. Snobby.
I live in Maine where we had been getting the wonderful local-owned State Cable provider for many, many years. Then in 1997, Frontervision got a hold of the provider, gave us a few channels and stayed around untill mid fall 1999. Then Adelphia took hold...
Pros: Standard selection of cable networks, decent variety. Cons: Constant nagging by installers whenever a neighbor signs up!
In our area, if you're going to sign up for cable, Adelphia is basically you're main option for a provider. We have decided not to have regular cable in our home, for several reasons. For one thing, we don't have the $30+ per month to spend on tv!...
I live in a city where we only have one choice of a cable provider. The city decided to give our contract to Adelphia, it didn't sit to well with the residents of the city. I feel that the price we have to pay is outrageous! It cost more than $30 a month...
Pros: Field service excellent excellent Cons: Customer Service reps on phone uninformed of local services outages.
We cannot watch a local television station in our area without cable, therefore we must subscribe. The numerous outages we incure with ADELPHIA, with many excuses as to why, after being on hold for a considerable amount of time is unacceptable. We...
Pros: courteous service reps Cons: too costly/no voice in changes
I would like to know who decides what stations are removed and/or added.
I attempted to tape a program on WPIX one Tuesday night and what did I
get? CSPAN2!!! When I called, I was informed that WPIX was no longer on
the menu, but I now...
Pros: clear picture, good sound Cons: frequent interruptions
What happened to the good old days when cable didn't get scrambled every time the wind picked up. Although I enjoy digital cable at times, I don't think it's worth the extra money, unless you like all the great movie channels it offers. However, these...
Pros: Its cable Cons: Expensive, poor internet cable service
I only wish I could choose Cable Providers the way I can choose ISP's. I am stuck with Adelphia and their high rates, non-existant customer service, and their half-@%$# cable modem service. I have basic plus service; we wanted Court TV so we could watch...
Pros: Someone else installs it, you don't own the equipment and they have to repair it. Cons: Too few channels, too many taxes, monthly cable box fees.
The real deal...
You get less of the available pay stations for the money.
You pay more in taxes.
As always you must pay to have their equipment in your home.
The picture is sometimes like watching a movie with the video paused...
I had Adelphia cable service from 1994 through last December, when I moved out of my apartment and into a house. I am leery of getting cable again. The cost is too high, for one thing. I had basic cable and it was about $32.00 per month.
Pros: customer Service has been helpful Cons: refer to the title
I live out in the country, in a place which hasn't yet jumped into the 1990's, and the only cable provider I have access to is Adelphia. I know I shouldn't expect the big providers (such as TimeWarner and Americast) to find our little town in the middle...
Pros: Customer service/tech support/billing are open 24 hours via telephone. Cons: Adelphia gained too many areas and customers in a short period of time.
First of all.. I work for Adelphia so I do have an inside view of how this company actually works.
Adelphia is one of the nation's leading cable companies with more than 5.5 million residential customers nationwide. In addition to cable...
Pros: Mostly clear reception Cons: Angry, vindictive Customer Svc Reps, monopoly, unexplained outages with no re-imbursement
Ok. the cable in Colorado Springs was Century and was bought by Adelphia.
Frankly, I didn't notice any difference. The way I see it, mud on your car is still mud on the car and it doesn't matter where it came from.
Century was the ONLY cable...
Pros: used to work fine Cons: STATIC, late servicemen
Adelphia has been working alright in the past, but with recent storms, it has been going in and lately. It was especially frustrating when watching ER, trying to find out if Dr Carter was gonna live, and then STATIC. Then it would come back in, then...
Pros: on screen guide of movies music and reg. tv Cons: sometimes it takes a couple seconds to get a channel
I used to have TCI digital cable (i guess adelphia bought it or something,) but now i have adelphia. IT works pretty much the same and is nice to have. It come with all the cable channels plus more and you can get the movie channels. iT has an onscreen...
Pros: You do get cable.
Cons: They will do ANYTHING to take your money except give you good service.
My brother ordered Adelphia Cable TV with the cable box and remote. The cable box is nice since it shows you what shows are on. Anyways, a few months ago, the cable box started to act flakey. A few channels would read "one moment please" and NEVER ...
I moved into a home and the previous tenants had cable through Adelphia which is the only carrier in our area. i called to have the cable hooked up before I moved in hoping they could just change it over to my name, boy was I mistaken. First the told ...
Pros: Adelphia offers more channels and better picture quality in the Cleveland Ohio viewing area Cons: The service is pretty expensive especially the bundled digital cable and cable modem service
Adelphia Powerlink Service has proved to be excellent in this viewing area. Previously, ATT had been ...
Pros: I can watch TV and surf the internet Cons: Service is old, They do not listen to their customers, and bill incorrectly
Adelphia has gotten lucky that Cable is not deregulated or no one would use them. Where they go wrong: 1. They are always months behind other cable companies in updating their services and adding/changing their channel line-up. 2 years after other ...
Pros: Digital cable and Powerlink Cons: Cable goes out if it snows 1"
I get Adelphia Digital cable and Powerlink high speed internet service in Waterville Maine. They are the only game in town cable wise so my only other choice is to get DSS, but in my area local channels aren't available.
From what I've read all over...
Pros: None that I can think of. Cons: Price and quality of product.
I get the basic cable. My bill for 12 channels was less than $10 back in December. The during the first of the year, they "improved" our channel line-up and I now pay over $16 for 13 channels. Since this "upgrade" to our cable system, the pictures ...
Pros: Had helpful tech support a few times. Cons: Ready to register Ihateadelphia.com
I have had Adelphia cable for a number of years and never had much of a problem when we lived in CT. Now that we are in Virginia, I am ready to move to get away from their clutches. We have DVR service, every so often the DVR box will "forget" how ...
Pros: Quick, easy installation Cons: Poor customer service.
24 hr. or more loss in service averages once per month.
Having been a customer of Adelphia Digital Cable Service for almost one year, I have found that, contrary to the advertisements with which they flood the media, customer care and satisfaction is not their goal. Loss of service for 24 hours or more is...
Pros: High Speed Internet Service is great when it is working. Clarity of some digital channels. Cons: Poor channel selection, robbing bandwidth from analog so Adelphia can add HD stations.
I have the misfortune of living in an area that is only serviced by Adelphia cable. In the past two years, I have had four substantial rate increases. Fortunately, I have a package that includes Adelphia High Speed Internet Access (great when it is ...
I have been with Adelphia cable for over 5 years and it is great! I get over 60 channels, their monthly rate is inexpensive. If you get the cable box from them you can order pay per view, their customer service is great. When we moved, they were supposed...
Pros: The basic & slight upgrades are fine. Cons: High cost for poor quality when it comes to digital.
Digital Cable, for the price I would become ill every time I look at my bill. I enjoy television more than the average person but, to pay the high price for not so high quality is not a service I would like provided.
Pros: They offer relatively good service at a reasonable price. Cons: They increase price very often.
The service is frequently interrupted for no apparent reason. The programming choices are adequate and signal comes in strong. However, service is interrupted even without bad weather conditions. Also, price is increased very frequently and you do not...
Pros: None Cons: High prices, No selection of channels, VERY Poor customer service, Terrible PPV support
In the WNY area, the cable service just stunk to high heaven! When I first went with cable here in the city I went for the "Digital Cable", I was told I would have 35 more channels than any other satellite company could ever bring me. I was...
Well I must say that I have digital cable from Adelphia and have for about 2 weeks now. I have all the channels the $68/mo package, which is a great deal for the amount of movie channels and other channels. I am of coarse on Adelphia’s wonderful free for...
Pros: You can watch a megaton of sports Cons: A complete waste of money for non-sports fans
Adelphia Cable has been promoting the newest advance in cable technology - digital cable. But does it really measure up to all the hype? Not in my opinion. Adelphia seems to think that the word 'digital' is magic - just tack it on in front of anything...
Pros: Don't even think about it, find another way!!!!!!!! Cons: This space just isn't big enough!!!!!!!!
I've tried to switch to a dish but, I can't cause of the trees around my house. I can't get ATT when the people a 1/4 of a mile down the road can because there's a monopoly when it comes to cable. So, I'm just stuck. I'm about to start recording my...
Pros: The only cable company in town Cons: Just not worth it
I have had this cable service for a little over a year and I am very disapointed in the services i have received. The only reason I have continued my service is becuase, where we live you have to have cable to watch t.v. And I think that this company...
Pros: better picture Cons: cost too much money for basic cable
I disagree on your opinion about the cost of adelphia cable. I think the company is ripping people off. When they first started out they charged something like $12 per month and now it is over $30 per month just for basic cable I find that ridiculous....
Pros: Cable services are relatively good! Cons: Customer Service is PATHETIC and so is "Autopay."
We've had digital cable services since early this year. I only called Adelphia once for disrupted services. This is not my issue with Adelphia, however.
THE PROBLEM
We set up through Adelphia for a service called Autopay -- where...
My family and I have been trying to get our cable turned on for four days, to no avail. We never had problems with Century, but now. I was practically called a liar by their "Customer Care" Rep. I was told that they had come at 3:10 PM, on...
Pros: More than 13 channels. Cons: Sports and Kiddie show overdose.
Adelphia Cable...specifically, in Southern Ocean County, New Jersey. GIMME A BREAK! Yes, shouting, screaming....and hoping someone hears better here then they do with the "subscriber polls" or whatever they call them. Yoo-hooooo! No Court...
Pros: Digital service available
Sometimes polite customer service Cons: Constant pixelation on digital channels
Field reps don't keep appointments
Reception outages constantly
When Adelphia took over the territory for Century Communications here in Los Angeles, I thought finally I would get some decent reception, friendly customer service and field technicians who knew something about cable tv. How wrong I was. In the more...
Pros: Has a large number of channels available with the basic Cons: Customer Service, Price (3 years ago I was paying $29 per month for what now costs me $45 per month.
In October of 1996, I moved from my apt. where I had Adelphia Cable (there was no choice for me, it was the only cable service offered for that complex). Since I moved on a Sunday, I left the converter box and remote in the manager's office, with the...
when your dealing with cable company's adelphia service is good for the price but it does not compare to media one,the cable guide channel could use some improvement. and as far as there internet access goes yes it may be cheap but you get what you pay...
Pros: Does not appear to be in any financial troubles Cons: Unsatisfactory programming, empty promises, seem to have idea that they know what is best
A few years ago, Adelphia bought out TCI in my hometown. Now at the time, I was very pleased with TCI so when Adelphia came along to take over, I figured things could only get better; I was wrong. Within a week, Adelphia seemed to rape viewers of the...
Pros: Friendly reps, will answer all questions that you think to ask.
Cons: Bare minimum information given, can result in surprises on your bill.
Adelphia service is adequate here in Ohio. Customer Service reps are friendly and give understandable information. The only problem is that if you don't ask specific enough questions you are not given complete information. ie: I called to ask about charges for having a DVR in my home. I was told the monthly fee but was not aware of the additional monthly charge for equipment until the bill came. Aggravating but in my experience all the cable, satellite companies operate in a similar fashion to increase sales.
Despite their monopoly on many local cable markets, these guys are going down. Their customer service was horrible two years ago, is worse now. I wrote a letter to their corp HQ complaining about how rude these guys were - no reply. I moved, had Cablevision with no problems and now tried to order service with Adelphia.
They take long time to setup your service (~2 weeks) for me, though the previous resident had exact service -- all they needed to do was change account names.
When I told them I will shop elsewhere for faster service, they almost dared me to go ahead. I called around and got DSL installed for 25% less monthly fee.
After getting DSL, I called to cancel - it took me 30 minutes to do that. I could have just not been at home when the cable guy showed up - but I was trying to be nice and cancel the service. When I complained about the wait time to cancel service, tHe service rep was rudely told me to go to local office. Makes you wonder if they are working for competetion and answering Adelphia phones!
Pros: Poor customer service Cons: Nasty attitude from customer service
The cable T.V is clear enough but their customer service from canton GA offices stinks.They try sneaking some fees in the bill.I ordered cable for three rooms and the technician told me he had installed all the three rooms but when i got visitors and tried connecting the T.V in the guest room, it was not working, so i call them and to my surprise , they had not connected cable in the visitors room and i was charged 19.99 for the service man to come and correct their problem. Am so mad and i can not refer any one to them just because of their nasty customer service.

More outages than satellite by barry1965 ,Jul 07 '06
Pros: HDTV without buying expensive equipment. More premium channels compared to satellite. Cons: Frequent outages, higher prices than satellite.
I spent 8 1/2 years with satellite and was quite happy until I wanted HD programming. With Adelphia I didn't have to buy an HD Receiver, I could rent one for $8.95/month and that included programming. This was good, however, cable likes to advertise that satellite service goes out everytime there's a storm, which is only half true, it didn't always go out, but my HD channels on Adelphia cable and some regular digital channels lose signal at least twice a day sometimes more. This is what sucks about Adelphia and all they do is make excuses when you call them about it.
BEWARE-THE WORST GETS EVEN WORSE! by skla ,May 30 '06
Pros: Perfect for sadists. Cons: No other cable choice. They have a monopoly in the area. And in incompetence.
Customers forced to endure frequent outages of cable TV and Internet service, endless waits for clueless repairmen who never show up, and infuriatingly indifferent customer phone service reps.
And all this can be yours for only $149.00 a month!
No wonder their ex CEO is in jail for fraud.
